It's likely that they can't make a major push towards easing the restrictions due to the PS3 holding things back. Much in the same way as they can't update the size of the armoury chest either. Would they be brilliant quality of life changes? Definitely - though I'm certain that in due time we'll see vast improvements.
The overall quality of the game is pretty great so I can forgive the awkward implementation of character creation restrictions and player housing. With any luck they'll ditch the PS3 support in time for the next expansion and then they'll be able to make the game even more impressive/smoother than it is already.
At any rate, each MMO has its own set of perks and flaws. This just happens to be one of FFXIV's perceived failings - but solutions to the problem do exist even if people don't necessarily like them.
